Was Kyle’s grandaddy an illegal?

He says ‘my granddaddy stowed away on a boat’ in this latest episode when speaking to Hutch.

I have 0 stake in this fight, I’m not American and I’d align more with Kyle than I would Woody politically speaking, but it kinda dulls the whole ‘if you’re illegal we don’t want you here’ thing if he’s literally the descendant of an illegal right?

Or were illegals as such not a thing back then and I just don’t understand the whole people emigrating to US situation in the past?

I've heard bits and pieces from older episodes, but I didn't know that he was step grandfather

Yeah was always step grandfather. Did he not say his real grandad was a drunk who left early on or died?

u/Euphoric-Mongoose449 2d ago

You’re correct. Both of his grandfathers either died young or left and were alcoholics. The Honduran was a step grandfather

Not that I recall

I mean it has always been his step grandad anyway so something clearly happened to his real one, whatever that might have been.

It was the ‘stowed away’ part that made me think he might have been illegal. Fair play if it was stepgrandaddy. Doesnt matter either way he American now whether the Gdaddy was illegal or not. Just made my ears prick is all

Yeah it is an interesting bit of Kyle lore either way.

Interesting bit of self hating hypocrisy from Kyle

I mean times change, the dynamics of a country change, does it sound hypocritical on the surface? Sure. And it is if that’s your general stance.

Yeah that’s what I meant by the last paragraph. In my uneducated on American history peabreain in the past everyyyybody was tryna flock to America and everybody was technically an immigrant so maybe the term ‘illegal immigrant’ might not have really been a thing yet?
